get_pref('skin_editing') function error

[cara-tm]

Expected behaviour

Return of the right value stored into the prefs table.

Actual behaviour

Not accurate.

Steps to reproduce

Store multiple themes.

When we have several themes into the back-office, get_pref('skin_editing') doesn't return the theme version stored into the correspondent field (correct entry) from the txp_prefs table. The only solution: deleting old themes.

get_pref('skin_editing') is meant to return the name of the current (or last) skin that was edited - i.e. saved. Are you saying it's not doing that any more? Core relies on that quite heavily.

[bloatware]

Note that it's a per user pref, so, when called on the public side, it can return some unexpected default value.

@cara-tm Is this still a valid concern?

Are there any, more detailed, steps to reproduce this? Perhaps some template code or plugin that fails, because I can't reproduce this. Where are you trying to use get_pref('skin_editing')? In a Page/Form? A plugin?
